The Football Fan’s Diet

PITTSBURGH – Indeed Saturday was a very enjoyable day and turned out mostly how I imagined it. For the first time, I think I appreciated the weight that I have lost and reaffirmed my commitment to get the job done for once and for all.

Soccer practice was great. My daughter was very good this day. However, the day was not without its rocky spots.

Our babysitter, a family member, seemed to have one too many cold ones. So we had to politely inform them that we decided to take our little one with us because kids were really allowed to attend and we did not really need a babysitter—after all, most wine bars with Blues Bands beginning at 10, are the perfect venues to bring a 6-year-old.

I suspect that said family member realized they made a big oops. However, it must be noted, said family member agreed to watch our daughter on the same day so it was perhaps something not really planned for and it was a welcome gesture that they indeed wanted to help. Heck, everybody deserves an “Oops Card” right?

Nonetheless, it did hamper our evening a bit, but not too much. We got to the place around 8 and left shortly after 10 and really took it easy. We got to hear 3 songs from the Sweaty Betty Blues Band and that was cool. After that, we felt awkward having our little one there. Normally, she is in bed by ten.

We wrapped it up early but still had a good time. And today, I am not singing the blues. I managed to keep Saturday in check, which means I am on a little mini-streak. Will this be the final push? I think so. Stay tuned.
